Jamille Matt has been a big factor with two menacing displays up top, but it’s the way in which he, Sam Jones and the two widemen have combined that has been the most impressive thing.

At the same time, but for one unfortunate mistake against Swindon, Town have been equally solid at the back, too.

Indeed, Mark McGhee’s side only registered one tame attempt on target at the Hive.

It’s all starting to click together for the black and white army. Of course, they are not going to hit those heights in every single game, but they have certainly raised the bar in their Play-Off charge.

Forest Green can’t head to Blundell Park quickly enough!

COOL HAND LUKE

Credit where it’s due, the midfielder has been in top form these past two months.

Summerfield has not always been a regular feature in the engine room since joining from York City at the start of the 2016/17 season.

But then again, much of that has been down to the number of fellow middle men on the books; there are plenty of options in the Town engine room.

Something of an unsung hero, Summerfield was superb once again on Saturday. He fought for every ball alongside Mitch Rose.

Indeed, with a helping hand from Sam Jones from time to time, those two more than took control against Barnet’s midfield three.

Summerfield also went close on two occasions with long-range attempts.

A goal would have been richly deserved for his all-round contribution, but the points will have been enough of a reward for a man who always has the team at the front of his thoughts.
